Chapter 260: Death

Updated: >

Xiao Ruo was satisfied. If Jiang Ruyue still wants to deceive her with lies, then she has no choice at all: "Thank you for the queen's generous information, I will take the first step." ”

Xiao Ruo naturally wouldn't go to the imperial study at night now, it was heavily guarded, but it was no more than a cold palace, no one came. Everything he did just now was just trying to trick Jiang Ruyue into telling the truth.

"I've already told you how to get the antidote, how can you just walk away like this" Jiang Ruyue was about to leave like this, and said angrily in panic.

The sword light facing her heart was so close that in her eyes, it was like a poisonous snake, ready to rush up at any moment and devour her life. How could this make her heart shocked

"Queen Mother, it's not that I don't believe what you say. But I'll have to try it to find out," Xiao Ruo turned around and smiled brightly, as enchanting as a blooming poppy. With that, he turned around and left the inner room again.

"Lin Mengyu, if you don't believe in your words, you are a villain" Jiang Ruyue's eyes were not only frightened, but also angry, close to madness.

If Jiang Ruyue didn't understand at this time, she would be really stupid like a pig. The woman in front of her had no intention of letting herself go at all, even if she had a way to visit the imperial study at night to get the antidote, it would be absolutely impossible for her to come back and let her go. can let Jiang Ruyue roar loudly again, but who can hear it

Leaving the cold palace, according to the route he came, Xiao Ruo still cheered up his spirit and carefully returned to the residence of Lan Xiao Palace. Fortunately, when she decided to lead Le'er into the game, she had already begged Xie Danniang and sent the seemingly innocent smile elsewhere. She doesn't need to be served by others, no matter who Xiao'er is, only letting Xiao'er stay away from her is the safest for her.

Xiao Ruo changed out of the black clothes of the night walker, and still entered the copper basin that had been lit with rice paper. Originally, the house was already full of heat, but now the temperature has risen a lot.

The flames were dancing more and more, and the nightmares of the previous scenes appeared like images. Mrs. Lin died tragically in front of Xiao Ruo's eyes; The blood of the mother, who had just given birth to twin children, splashed on Xiao Ruo's face; Her father was beheaded, but she couldn't even collect the body; The elder brother and the two twins are still missing; Xiao Mengyu wanted to let her be filial piety in front of her grandmother, but she caused the Lin family to be ruined.

She had never killed anyone, and she never imagined that one day, a person's life would disappear at her hands. She is just a weak woman who has crossed over from modern times, if she hadn't met so many people and so many things, her hands would never have been stained with blood.

Xiao Ruo threw the sacrificial flag into the raging fire, opened his eyes wide, looked at it, and disappeared in the flames

"Ahh

At the same time, a scream containing anger, unwillingness, and despair came from somewhere in the cold palace. It was not yet dark, but it suddenly woke everyone in the dream.

The two palace maids in Tsing Yi and Huang Yi who were sleeping outside were the closest to Jiang Ruyue, and when they heard the sound, suddenly a spirit jumped up from the bunk. glanced at each other, and hurriedly rushed to the inner room.

The copper basin filled with ice had flipped to its side, and ice water mixed with blood flowed all over the ground. Jiang Ruyue was lying on the ground with her eyes wide open, and what was pierced in her chest was the long sword she had always been accustomed to putting by her side.

"Ahh

"Ahh

The frightened screams of the two palace maids rang out in unison, and they tried to run out of the inner room, but they found that their legs were already weak, and they moved in a hurry, but they couldn't help but fall to the ground. Panic, one attack after another, rushed towards them.

"Come on, the queen mother is dead, dead" The little eunuch who had just run to the door saw this scene, only to feel that his whole body had fallen into an ice cave, shouted in a panic, and stumbled towards the door.

Xiao Ruo didn't see this scene with his own eyes, but he knew Jiang Ruyue's fate better than everyone else. She could directly stab the silver sword into Jiang Ruyue's body, and even stabbed several swords to vent her anger. But she never dared, she didn't have the strength to lift her sword, she didn't have the determination to stab her body fiercely, and she didn't have the courage to let Jiang Ruyue's blood stain her face, hands, and body.

Jiang Ruyue is right, she is a villain. She didn't have the courage to let people die in front of her eyes, but she had to kill. If she had been able to be a villain since she was very early, those who loved her would not have died, and everything would not have become what it is now

The fire in the copper basin has been extinguished, and everything has been reduced to ashes. Xiao Ruo sat on the bed, his hands tightly hugging his slightly trembling body. She's scared, she's scared to bear it alone. If so, if Lan Yucheng could appear by her side at this moment, how good it would be to hug herself, as if he was hugging her.

"Aunt Doctor, are you up" Fu'er's voice sounded outside the door, pulling Xiao Ruo out of her own world.

At some point, there were tears on his face. Xiao Ruo reached out to wipe the tears off her face and stabilized her mood before getting up and walking towards the door.

"Auntie, it's good that you are up, just now the eunuch in the cold palace invited the emperor and said that the queen mother died. The imperial concubine felt a little uncomfortable, so let you take a look. Fu'er was holding a palace lamp in her hand, and when she saw Xiao Ruo wearing a robe and opened the door, she blessed her body and said so.

It's summer, and it stands to reason that it should be bright at this time. But the sky outside, although it was a little bright, was still gray.

"Then you wait, I will change my clothes and go with you." With that, Xiao Ruo turned around and went back to the house to change his clothes.

In the Feng Dynasty Palace, the lights are already bright at this moment. During the day, Xie Danniang was not feeling well, and Lan Shikang got the letter and stayed here. The review was carried out until midnight, and not long after Lan Shikang lay down, a palace person from the cold palace hurriedly came to report the queen's death. As soon as Lan Shikang left, Xie Danniang lost her sleepiness. The palace people lit all the lamps, and ordered the two palace maids to invite Xiao Ruo and Concubine Shu to come respectively.

When Xiao Ruo arrived at the Feng Dynasty Palace, Concubine Shu had already arrived. In front of the palace maid and the eunuch, after Xiao Ruo pretended to check the pulse, Xie Danniang waved away everyone who was waiting, leaving only Xie Danniang, Concubine Shu, and Xiao Ruo in the bedroom.

"The queen is really dead," Xie Danniang asked with joy on her face.

"There is no chance of survival." Xiao Ruo replied categorically.

"Okay" Xie Danniang sat up from the bed quite excitedly, and said: "For so many years, the emperor has gone from the palace to the queen, and the palace is so happy for the first time" Saying, Xie Danniang sneered: "I want her Jiang Ruyue to occupy the queen's position, and I also want to take the crown prince of the palace, and now, the palace looks at how arrogant you are"

Xiao Ruo stood aside and was silent. Even if she didn't kill Jiang Ruyue, Jiang Ruyue would find an opportunity to kill her. But after all, this is Xiao Ruo's first murder, although he has never died in front of him, but Jiang Ruyue's death has been surrounding Xiao Ruo's mind for a long time.

"No one should find out," Concubine Shu's eyebrows were also full of joy, but she thought more about it than Xie Danniang.

"Concubine Shu rest assured. There was only a slight amount of smoke in the inner room, and it had long since dissipated. When the queen died, she would definitely wake up the two palace maids sleeping outside, and they could only see the body of the queen in the house, and at that time, the slave maid had already returned to the single room of the Lanxiao Palace where the slave maid lived. Xiao Ruo bowed his head and replied.

"Okay, as long as this matter is over, what reward do you want, this palace has nothing to say" Concubine Shu looked at Xiao Ruo and promised with a smile on her face.

Xiao Ruo immediately knelt down and said, "The slave maid does things for the imperial concubine, and she doesn't dare to ask for any reward." It's just about Le'er and her mother leaving the palace, and I asked Concubine Shu to start preparing. ”

Concubine Shu's eyes flashed slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart: "This matter will naturally be taken to heart." It's just that now that the queen has just died, the emperor must be furious. When the time comes, the emperor will definitely let people kill Le'er to accompany the queen to the funeral. At that time, the palace let people go back to the emperor Le'er is dead, and then secretly transport it out of the palace, do you think it's good"

"Everything is as the mother says." Xiao Ruo has always been worried that Concubine Shu will regret it, but now that she has been affirmed, she can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As soon as the queen died, it was a matter of course for the emperor to execute Le'er. As long as the rumor passes, when she hands over the letter to Yichu to Le'er's mother and daughter to take out, they can naturally get the antidote therein. Therefore, she must have found an opportunity to get the antidote in the imperial study these days.

Let's talk about the cold palace.

When Lan Shikang arrived at the cold palace, he couldn't help but change his face when he saw Jiang Ruyue's appearance. Seeing the palace maid sitting on the ground trembling on the side, she kicked it directly.

Jiang Ruyue had already lost her breath, and even her body was slightly stiff. After Lan Shikang stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword on her chest, he looked at the blood in that place, turned to the palace maid and eunuch next to him and roared: "Say"

Everyone didn't know the cause and effect, so they naturally set their eyes on the two palace maids in Huangyi and Tsing Yi, after all, it was the two of them who were guarding outside last night, and they were the first to find that the queen was dead, and it was also the two of them.

Lan Shikang lifted up the yellow-clothed palace maid sitting on the ground, and asked angrily, "What happened, say?"

"Return, go back to the emperor, the emperor's words, the slave and maid were keeping vigil outside, and when they heard the screams coming in, they were already like this" The yellow-clothed palace maid stumbled and finally said her words.

Lan Shikang directly put the palace maid in yellow on the ground, and immediately looked at the other palace maid in Tsing Yi.

Without him to speak, the palace maid in Tsing Yi had come back to her senses: "The emperor spares his life, the slave and maid don't know anything, the slave and maid heard the screams and came in, and saw the queen lying on the ground motionless." As she spoke, the palace maid in Tsing Yi glanced at the queen's corpse, and fainted in shock and horror.
